Question

For a circle of radius 7 feet, find the arc length of a central angle of 6°.

Answer 1

`\textit{arc's length}\\\\ s = \cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180} ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \theta =\stackrel{degrees}{angle}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r = 7\\ \theta = 6 \end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{(6)\pi (7)}{180}\implies s=\cfrac{7\pi }{30}\implies \underset{\textit{about 9 inches}}{s\approx \stackrel{ft}{0.73}}`
